I had the honour of joining CBC's What On Earth with Dr. Chris Russill recently. We talked all about climate conspiracism and how this is playing out in real time as climate disasters become more frequent.

Have a listen!
Friends! Highly recommend this edition of CBC's What On Earth, featuring Prof Chris Russill and the @climateunit.bsky.social's very own @erinblondeau.bsky.social. Excellent insights into how & why climate disasters get hijacked by conspiracies & disinformation.
